American Airlines E175 Comes Within 350 Feet Of Air Canada Jet In JFK Near Miss

US federal authorities are investigating a very serious close call that took place at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) after an American Airlines Embraer E175 and an Air Canada Jazz E175 came within roughly 350 feet (106 meters) of each other while approaching parallel runways. Preliminary reports indicate that the American-operated regional jet strayed from its intended approach path, triggering onboard collision warnings and go-arounds for both crews before each aircraft managed to land safely.
